    Two comments.

    1) Gooden has an advantage over EG in the extent he stayed in college longer. Plus (with no disrespect intended) Seton Hall and Tommy Ameker are not the Big 12 / Kansas and Roy Williams.

    2) Team chemistry is a very elusive ideal. Although Gooden appears to have the edge in ability right now, I think in the long run EG fits the Rockets better from a chemistry standpoint.

    For onething, I've observed the Grizz has not spread the ball much and Gooden just want to diplay what is he capable off. I admit his got some pretty good moves and don't get me wrong about EG, Because he is capable becoming an arsenal on the offense and so is on defensive side.

    I'm thrilled to watched both players going head to head in regular games!!:D

    dont get me wrong i think eddie is great and i dont want to trade him at all, i think this is going to be a BIG rivery in a couple of years, cause they both really took it at each other in the summerleague games and in the very first on of the season.


    ps gotta love that eddie block on gooden it was FAN-TASTIC!!!!!!!!:D

    yea, I liked that stuff on Gooden, too. It was classic as to whats to come between the two. I liked Eddie's skill in last nights game, but he deferred back to the 3 point line too often.

    I wouldn't trade Eddie for Gooden, but I'd probably trade Eddie for Chris Wilcox. Yup. He's got all of Eddie's skills (minus the range from the arc) and likes to mix it up in the paint. He just has a more intimidating presence. And he's a terp.
